Re: Non-Bar Programs - Breyer State Univ.-AL online J.D. Degree
Posted by JF on 3/15/08

    Fellows:

    You are somewhat correct, Breyer State University Law School does
    not have ABA, ALI,CA Bar or DETC accreditation. But accreditation
    it does have is private accredition and it is Alabama State
    licensed and reconized. The State of Alabama Dept. of Post
    Secondary Education does recognize and license Breyer State
    University as an educational institution. BSU is authorized to
    legally award the JD degree. Interesting to note that in Alabama
    Breyer State University and the University of Phoenix have the
    same type of licensing as private educational institutions.

    Analysis of accreditation for online Distance Learning law schools:

    1st Best Standard: Regional or DETC accredited
    2nd Best Standard: CA Bar registered
    3rd Best Standard: CA or AL Post Secondary Edu. Dept licensed and
    recognized

    What accreitation does your school have? ABA/ALI don't accredited
    online JD programs.

    "Breyer State" is just a name. Does your school's name reflect
    any official affliliation or connection to the state, city,
    region, country or a former president? I wonder does that make
    your online law school a diploma mill?

    True, Breyer State University is a for profit institution, just
    like every other online DL law school in California...
